I recently experimented with multiple 3D scanned photographs. I emulated redshifts and blueshift to enhance motion both in both animated GIF and still images. To capture this I scripted three positions to show the the turning of the head, then used an 3d scanner attached to my computer to measure the depth of the composition. I used all three images at once and overplayed color so that when head turns forward there is a blueshift to show compressed lightwaves. I then mirrored the first two images and shifted the color to red to emulate the look of longer light waves as the head turns back away.

3D mockup plans for a four layered acrylic backgammon board with a built in handle. Board will feature invisible hinges and magnetic closures. The first prototype will be a small travel sized with a large tournament edition to follow.

Using mirrored and fogged white acrylic my partner Martin and I created this non rectangular box. We ended up using hot glue on the edges to solidify the structure. The bottom was left open for future use as a lamp.

Working with Martin we decided to build our first box based on an origami model. It consists of three parts and our goal is to make it into a lamp. Our next step will be do create an illustrator file to print onto acrylicThe center piece will be holding our light source. One issue we are running into is figuring out the best way to construct he top piece specifically, we also have to figure out how to cut the acrylic on an angle instead of 180 degrees.

Back in the mid 00’s I ran a techblog called unwirednews.net, at some point in 2007 I suffered from a localized hard drive crash followed by a webserver crash, I lost my entire website. I decided to take this first assignment as an oppurunity to attempt to recover my website from the archive.org wayback machine arhives. This posted many issues, due to irregular URL formation WGET is unable to accurately scrape the data and left me with empty folders. After doing more research I decided to use warrick, a similar tool in a perl script. There is not a lot of documentation on using warrick outside of pure ‘nix environments, but I was able to get it up and running (tutorial to come soon). By using warrick I was able to set a date in a command that told warrick to search archive.org for all instances of my website. After close to three hours I had recovered most of my website in 100’s of HTML documents. The result can be found at www.ajlevine.com/unwired. I had alter all my link references to get the images and some other things working and still have some more work to do in order to get it 100% back to where it was.
